The International Olympic Committee

Who we are

The IOC is a not-for-profit independent international organisation made up of volunteers. The IOC President presides over all its activities, while the IOC Session and Executive Board are responsible for taking the main decisions for the organisation.

What we do

How we do it

The IOC generates revenue for the Olympic Movement through several major marketing programmes, including the sale of broadcast rights and The Olympic Partner (TOP) programme. More than 90 per cent of this income is redistributed to the wider sporting movement, which means that every day the IOC provides the equivalent of USD 3.25 million to help athletes and sports organisations at all levels around the world.

Fight against doping - Who does what?

Protecting clean athletes by fighting against doping is a top priority for the IOC, which has established a zero-tolerance policy to combat cheating and to make anyone responsible for using or providing doping products accountable.

Olympism in Action

The Olympism in Action Forum was a new initiative by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) focused on building a better world through sport. It addressed the most important topics related to sport and society through a constructive dialogue with a diverse group of speakers and guests.
